WAYNE COUNTY, Tenn. — A correctional facility employee was arrested this week after authorities say they received a tip he was going to attack a rural Tennessee church.

It all started in Henderson County where police received a tip about the alleged plan.

According to CBS affiliate WBBJ, Daniel Toler had three weapons in his car – an assault-style shotgun, an AR-15 and a bolt-action rifle – when he arrived at the South Central Correctional Facility in Clifton over the weekend. In addition, authorities discovered 1,500 rounds of ammunition in his possession.
